We have a dedicated infection control team made up of qualified Infection Control Nurses and an Infection Control Doctor.
They work as a team with other health-care professionals, patients and their visitors to prevent and control infections.
The team is on hand to provide:
-
Specialist infection control advice.
-
Education to all health-care workers.
-
Monitor infection rates.
-
Audit practices central to care including the cleanliness of the hospital.
Our staff take infection control seriously. It forms part of our job description and a work-related appraisal that we have every year.
The infection control team reports directly to the Chief Nurse and the Trust Board receives regular updates on infection control at Board Meetings.
